America had the perfect opportunity to be the hero or the goat yesterday before the UN.   It was bad enough that this gathering of thugs, including Fidel Castro, Moammar Quaddafi and Mahmoud Ahmedinjad, were in our homeland.   What made matters worse, was our very own president embracing an apologetic tone towards the world for our transgressions of spreading freedom and liberty.

He spoke of evil Americans who drive cars that spew carbon into the atmosphere.   He demonized of military for freeing the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.   He demeaned Israel, while extolling the virtues of the pro-terrorist Palestinian state.   He was embraced by Fidel Castro and Quadaffi referred to him as “my son”.   The speech given by Obama was as much of a disgrace as the anti Semitic rhetoric spewed by Quadaffi and Ahmedinejad.  

What should have happened yesterday was an orchestrated, covert operation between the NSA, the CIA and military intelligence.   In one fell swoop we could have cleaned up the world’s human debris who gathered at the United Nations for their annual “We Hate America” assembly, where they plot such things as global taxes, currencies and a new world order.   Simple things like car crashes, muggings or other staged events could have done  more in one afternoon than we will be able to do in the next three generations.   What would the world think of such accidents?   I don’t know; but perhaps Canada and England’s delegations walking out on Ahmedinejad gives us a good indication. 

I am sure the elitist liberals would disagree with such an approach, because they worship despots.   Since the days of Jimmy Carter breaking bread with Edi Amin, liberals have been infatuated and envious of those who have created an environment of suffering and human rights violations, so much so that they are trying to emulate it right in our own country with bans on guns, God and free speech.

Like most Americans with common sense (read those who did not vote for Obama)I am not in favor of despots and dictators.   They are illegitimate regimes installed with power and intimidation rivaled only by the tactics at ACORN.   They need to all be removed from power because every human being is entitled to the basic rights of freedom.   So instead of apologizing for our great nation, perhaps Obama could have done the right thing and told them that their days were numbered while extolling, instead of condemning, American exceptionalism. 

He could have told Iran that if they don’t stop trying to produce a nuclear bomb, we will use our own arsenal to wipe their terrorist state off the face of the earth.   Ditto to Kim Jong Il and anyone else who dare try to attack our way of life.   He could have told Castro and Chavez that human suffering will no longer be tolerated.   His message to the despots in Africa should have been an ultimatum to free their people or face the wrath of our military.  Instead he praised despotism with promises to reduce our nuclear arsenal during a time of war.   While Columbia professors, Nancy Pelosi and Osama Bin Laden may have been beaming with pride at such idiocy, the rest of us should be scared to death as his speech truly reflects undertones that are downright unpatriotic. 

Again, we are seeing Obama’s true colors which are anything but red, white and blue.   He continues to put his narcissistic goals and agenda before the good of the country.   His poll numbers continue to decline with a new Rasmussen poll showing that he has become even more polarizing than president Bush which is cause for concern; as that would mean that there are actual intellectually challenged people in our nation who put style over substance.   So what happens when we have another 9/11? If Obama keeps up his apologetic tone, it’s just a matter of time which will be another I Told You So moment.

In the most recent AP poll taken yesterday, 52% of Americans are against the Obama/Democrat healthcare plan.   So what does Obama do? He speaks to a joint session of Congress and the American public with one of his most partisan speeches to date.   He ridicules the prior administration for cutting taxes and creating jobs while completely ignoring the fact that his economic policy has doubled unemployment since he took office. He pays lip service to tort reform and competition; the two things that could actually lower health insurance costs. Worse yet, he outright lied about what was contained in the 1000+ page document. 

The highlight of the Obama speech was Republican Congressman Joe Wilson who stood up and said, “You lie,” when it was suggested that the bill wouldn’t provide care to illegal aliens.   All the while, Nancy Pelosi could be seen glaring with her aging, hollow eyed hippy, hate filled eyes while Michelle Obama, still not proud of her country, sat idly by shaking her head wondering how someone could dare challenge the messiah.  As it turns out, Wilson is right and Obama did lie.   The unfortunate thing is that Wilson actually apologized for what he characterized as uncivil behavior. The truth is that we need more like Congressman Wilson and we need them to shout from the mountaintops about the every increasing frequency of lies coming out of this administration.  

Watching the speech was like watching an infomercial trying to sell an unwitting audience on losing weight while never leaving their couch.   It is utterly amazing that Obama continues to state that we can all have government healthcare without raising the deficit by one dime.   Right; and I’ve got a few bridges to sell you. The facts just don’t mesh with the rhetoric coming from the Obama administration that has yet to spell out any measures that will be taken to cut costs.

In reviewing this bill (something the mainstream media has yet to do) the fact remains that the government option creates 53 new bureaucracies, all more unaccountable than the ones that exist today.   Obama talked about fixing the problems in Medicare and Medicaid, which have become a cross generational disaster. The bottom line is that he has an agenda which is to create his legacy proving once again that he is more narcissist than president.   He could care less about any one of us, but he must do something to get the egg off of his face in the wake of his poll numbers falling like a rock.  

Proving that he could care less about you or I or especially the aging, he continues to be dogged by the language of Section 1233 which states that advanced care planning consultation shall include five year reviews of options or more frequent for the terminally ill. While they are not called death panels, a review with your doctor of options on sustainability of life could be construed to be just that if the government is forced to ration healthcare, as is the case in every other nation with socialized medicine. 

If government is to provide care with no cost increases to anyone then rationing will be required. They will have to cut expenditures which will be a line item in the annual budget. In other words, bureaucrats will have to make life and death decisions.  

 

It’s a pretty sad state of affairs for Obama when government school officials in Wisconsin are refusing to air the messiah’s indoctrination speech this coming Tuesday.   I would expect this from, say Texas; where common sense prevails.   The fact is that there are a great number of school districts who are saying enough is enough and opting out of the airing of this broadcast. 

Clearly this has Obama once again reeling, not knowing what him square between the eyes.   “What, even kids don’t like me?” That’s right, even kids..well at least intelligent kids, are learning at home of your true anti-American agenda. Yes, being a socialist does make you un-American.   Hanging out in the living room of terrorist Bill Ayers does make you un-American. Having a pastor for 20 years decry what an evil and racist nation America is does make you un-American. Heck, you haven’t even proven that you were born in America.  

It’s not that kids shouldn’t get to hear both sides of issues, it’s the forum in which the other side is being presented.   Obama intentionally picked a date and time when most children would be separated from their parents.   This is indoctrination, plain and simple. 

Having witnessed the Obamanation of an administration for the past six months it is evident that he is first and foremost a narcissist.   Second, he is on an unbridled power trip enabled by a radically left wing Congress and an out of control judiciary.   Third, he is willing to forsake the safety, security and liberty of productive Americans in the name of a Marxist agenda. Yes, the concept of cap and trade, Fairness Doctrine, socialized medicine, centralization of industry and card check are all rooted in Marxist-socialist ideology.  

Just as the tea parties served as rallying points for real Americans to stand up and voice their concerns over the direction of our nation, this school indoctrination speech is doing the same.   Millions of parents are calling and writing schools demanding that this propaganda not be aired.   In Texas, parents are storming administration buildings in protest (thank God there is one sane state left…). 

For most parents, it’s not an issue of listening to differing views but rather how this is being rammed down our throats by the imperialist federal government at a time when Obama’s poll numbers are falling like a rock.   It’s manipulation, plain and simple.   Given his track record of undermining capitalism, permitting our children to listen as a captive audience to Obama would be tantamount their having to sit through Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Marx, Castro, Chavez or worse yet Pelosi as they spew their anti-capitalist rhetoric. 

 

Education in the Third Reich served to indoctrinate students with the National Socialist world view. Nazi scholars and educators glorified Nordic and other “Aryan” races, while denigrating Jews and other so-called inferior peoples as parasitic “bast@rd races” incapable of creating culture or civilization. After 1933, the Nazi regime purged the public school system of teachers deemed to be Jews or to be “politically unreliable.” Most educators, however, remained in their posts and joined the National Socialist Teachers League. 97% of all public school teachers, some 300,000 persons, had joined the League by 1936. In fact, teachers joined the Nazi Party in greater numbers than any other profession.

So let’s examine what is happening today, as our education system glorifies mediocrity while denigrating people deemed to be “too white” or "too successful". Just as many teachers in Nazi Germany joined the National Socialist Teachers League, many teachers in America today belong to the National Socialist Education Association.   In a strikingly eerie parallel to teachers affinity for the Nazi Party, today in America they overwhelmingly join the Democrat party.   While some of their views differ, in particular on which race is viewed to be superior, the important similarity is that both espoused an agenda of socialism and intolerance for dissenting opinion. 

While the Hitler youth were often focused on being race conscious, today’s youth are focused on being issue conscious with anti-white undertones.   The Germans were indoctrinated to be self sacrificing to the Fuhrer and the Fatherland while the government school children of today must give up their souls in the name of abortion, homosexuality, global warming and political correctness.

In Nazi Germany, schools played an important role in spreading Nazi ideas to German youth. While censors removed some books from the classroom, German educators introduced new textbooks that taught students love for Hitler and obedience to state authority in much the same way that our teachers today seek to censor Fox News while promoting centralized government and obedience to Obama, who is planning his own speech to our impressionable youth next Tuesday; again reminiscent of the rise of the Third Reich. 

While Hitler ranks up at the top of the evil people in world history it is important to remember that he was elected by the masses, as was the case with Obama in 2008.   He worked methodically with other elected leaders to impose centralization of much of the German economy just as Obama has done with the banks and auto industry.   He used his legislative allies to silence dissent just as we see today with Pelosi’s Congress attempting to silence free speech with the Fairness Doctrine and mandated unionization with card check.   When there was a dispute, the German socialists resorted to their allies in the judiciary in much the same manner that we are witnessing by domestic liberals of today.  

 

 

In 1933 a wildly popular leader used the power of propaganda to indoctrinate millions of children.  His name was Adolph Hitler and we know the rest of the story. Next Tuesday, another wildly popular leader (at least among the young, the dumb and the uninformed) will use propaganda to indoctrinate an entire generation of children. His name is Barack Hussein Obama and we haven’t a clue how this story will turn out. 

According to the liberal media the message of the messiah will be for children to stay in school and strive to do well.   If this is the real message then my suggestion is that Obama focus this speech on those schools attended by the children of his constituents which tend to be in lower income, Democrat ravaged, inner cities for we have no use for this waste of time in schools attended by the children of productive Americans. 

I have no intention of permitting my children to witness a leader whose true intentions are not known. Since entering office, each and every move has been an orchestrated effort to undermine our economic freedom and individual liberties.    He has put our nation at risk of attack by the very terrorists he coddles and has endangered our future generations security by putting us on the road to bankruptcy. 

The mere fact that he is a protégé of communist Franklin Davis Marshall and terrorist William Ayers should scare the living daylights out of every American with common sense.   He is seeking to socialize 1/6^th of our nation’s economy in a never ending quest by liberal elites to create a permanent underclass from whom the elitists can use to retain power. 

The Department of Education has drawn up special projects for children to complete after worshipping at the altar of the messiah.   My guess is those children who disobey will quickly be subject to persecution by their government school administrators for not complying with what can only be compared to the 21^st century version of the Hitler Youth Brigades.  

Obama has yet to say anything meaningful to the masses, so is this his attempt to regain some of his popularity?   As his poll numbers fall into the abyss, is this an attempt to salvage some support from the most vulnerable in our society whom he hopes can influence parents at home; who for the most part are ignoring his lies and biased rhetoric? 

Perhaps the patriotic thing to do is keep our children home and use the time to educate them about the true agenda of domestic liberals who rank as the greatest enemies of the United States.   Some will say that our children should be exposed to the Obama propaganda as part of the education process, which would be a valid argument in a society where civics was actually part of an unbiased educational system.   However, our society has devolved to new lows with the complicity of liberal government educators and liberal leaders in their attempts to indoctrinate our youth into socialist ideology.  

The movement by liberals to undermine academia by liberals goes back at least 40 years.   As many radicals, such as Obama mentor Saul Alinsky believe, it is better to destroy and institution from within than from the outside.   Even Obama pal Bill Ayers learned that there were more effective ways to undermine our nation than blowing up the Pentagon.  

 

Hey Arlen Specter, how’s that 2010 campaign looking? After watching his disastrous town hall meeting I'm thinking that the Republican turned Democrat has seen the last of his cushy job in Washington D.C. come the 2010 elections. Good riddance. 

In Georgia, a swastika was painted on Congressman David Scott’s office sign.   Of course Scott, a black Democrat, is using typical liberal race baiting rhetoric to justify his position on healthcare which he believes caused the vandalism. Could it be that the perpetrator was sending a message that the Nazi period in Germany was one of the most despicable times in history rivaled only by the liberal control in Washington, D.C.? While I don’t condone the vandalism, it is very easy to understand the pent up frustration being caused by Pelosi and her un-American ilk. Yes, supporting Marxist ideologies does make you un-American. 

In Missouri a woman warned Democrat Claire McCaskill that if the administration doesn’t let people vent their frustrations there will be a revolution.   The Democrats response “I don’t understand the rudeness”. Well Mrs. McCaskill neither did King George.  

Desperate to calm the public, the messiah himself spoke yesterday at what was reported to be a townhall with open and honest dialogue from the participants.   Right, like this administration does anything that isn’t completely planned and orchestrated. Just how stupid do they think we are?

All the while, the White House has set up a special website for Americans to snitch on family, friends and neighbors who don’t support socialized medicine.   What next, SS patrols to search our homes and businesses? Maybe the government can work to silence free speech? Oh, I forgot that’s already in the works with the insidious un-Fairness Doctrine and union card check. O.K., then it’s on to guns. Oops, they are already working on that as well.  Heaven forbid we speak our mind or defend our freedom!

It’s high time that Americans woke up from their Obama induced stupor and got mad. I hope they get mad as hell just as sure as I hope Obama’s socialist agenda is a miserable failure because then I can say “I told you so” to every uninformed soul who cast their vote for the most unqualified candidate to ever run for the highest office in the land. 

I just hope it’s not too late, because in slimy Chicago politics the elitist class always gets the last word, even if it means using mob thugs to carry out their dirty deeds.   The question is whether Chicago politics can fully take root outside of Cook County? Can the liberals succeed in abolishing the first and second Amendment which is truly what they want and must have in order to achieve Stalinesque control of our nation?  

We need to come together as a people to vote every member of Congress, Democrat or Republican, who supports socialist ideals out of office.   Let’s just hope they don’t declare our right to vote unconstitutional before next November.   With this administration actually making the Clinton administration look downright honest and wholesome nothing would surprise me.

Wow, I’ve to say that this is a new first! Co-winners of this weeks Golden Pansy Award. I guess this shouldn’t be a surprise as the coming of the holidays always seems to bring the pansies out of the closet. First up are the Claremont, California, government schools which have banned an annual celebration in which grade schoolers dress up as pilgrims and Indians.  

This blatant affront to free speech was apparently driven by one elitist parent, Michelle Raheja, who called this four decade old school tradition “demeaning”. Raheja just so happens to be an English professor (imagine my surprise) at a government college where she has unfettered access to spew this kind if hatred and vitriol against free speech around on the taxpayer dime.  

Superintendent David Cash caved in to this nonsense when he should have simply told this bimbo to take a hike and told the kids to come in full garb. To any readers whose children attend schools in this district please do us all a favor and have your children show up in full pilgrim and Indian garb to make a point to parents that don’t respect freedom of speech that their opinion is a minority one that just does not matter. 

Next up is Florida Gulf Coast University who gets the Golden Pansy Award for their outright ban on all holiday decorations on campus. While I would like to give them credit for not limiting their ban to Judeo-Christian displays, which is typically the case in academia, the reality is that this ban is designed to appease Muslims. 

University President Wilson Bradshaw wrote in a memo to faculty that “Public institutions, including FGCU, often struggle with how to best observe the season on ways that honor and respect all traditions. This is a challenging issue each year at FGCU, and 2008 is no exception.”

Actually this is not a challenging issue at all. It is actually as simple as saying, Merry Christmas, as that is what the vast majority of Americans celebrate.   Certainly, the university can welcome other displays for other holiday celebrations, but to undermine the fabric of our American culture is not only an absurd miscarriage of justice in the name of political corrections but this assault on free speech and expression is tantamount to sedition!

As the holiday season approaches, we should expect more and more of these egregious examples of political correctness run amok, which is precisely why we must make these Marxist oriented assaults on free speech a crime.   It is high time that anyone committing a felony of political correctness be charged with high crimes and misdemeanors and sent to prison for no less than 10 years. 

As a society, we must lash out against anyone who seeks to undermine our individual freedoms and liberties, in particular if they are guilty of political correctness.   We must punish those who seek to take away our right to celebrate and we must encourage our children, whose minds are being raped in government academia, to rise up against these transgressions by liberal elitists.  

For now, let it suffice to say that the Claremont government indoctrination center and FGCU is the latest recipients of the Golden Pansy Award for their contributing to the emasculation of a future generation.   They should be embarrassed, ashamed and utterly disgusted with their anti-American, anti-freedom, scroogesque behavior that can no longer be tolerated in a society that prides itself on freedom of speech and expression.

Like many Congressional Democrats, Alcee Hastings fits the mold of corruption, immorality and a general misunderstanding of the intentions of our founding fathers. He also has the notoriety of being a former federal judge who was impeached for corruption and perjury and then was elected by people in his Florida district who apparently have a lot in common with the voters who re-elected the crack smoking criminals such as Marion Berry.

As has become par for the course with many liberals, Alcee Hastings has dealt the race card. In a statement before the National Jewish Democratic Council he stated that “If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well better pay attention. Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So you just think this through.”

He then went on to clarify his statements with Obama mouthpiece ABC News claiming that “Palin is an extremely conservative woman who is out of touch with America.” This, of course, coming from a convict who serves asn a member of the Congressional Black Congress which is a group that routinely excludes any patriotic black leader who stands up for their country. Yeah Alcee, this hockey mom who embodies everything that made America great is really out of touch.

Maybe he could have mentioned to the National Jewish Democratic Council that B. Hussein Obama has agreed to meet with Iranian nutjob Mahmoud Ahmedinejad without preconditions. Perhaps the reason Jews aren’t flocking to the son of a Muslim is because his Iranian buddy continues to claim that the Holocaust never occurred and that Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth. I guess that rhetoric is nothing more than words, just words.

With Congressional leadership such as Hastings it is no wonder their approval rating is in the single digits. It is this type of rhetoric that should make us all understand why Congress can get nothing done as they are too busy dealing out the race cards and plying their trade of victimology and entitlementalism in exchange for votes from those who are too pathetically incompetent to do anything without the teat of our nanny state Mother Government.

The saddest thing of all is that someone like Alcee Hastings can even be elected to Congress. Heck, this guy isn’t even fit to be a community organizer. He, like his fellow liberals, need to get beyond the racist zealotry and understand why real Americans don’t like Obama. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin and everything to do with the color of his beliefs which contain no red, white and blue as he is a hammer and sickle through and through.

Elected leaders like Hastings once again reflect why Americans should have to take a test in order to vote. We have to take a test to pass class or to get a driver license, both are far less important than voting. As we watch the Democrats destroy the economy while trying to cover up the mess they created with the Community Reinvestment Act, we should take stock in the very people, most often the uneducated and uninformed, who put them in elected office. If you can’t name the Vice President or your Congressional Rep, you should not be permitted to vote. Then again, if we did that there wouldn’t be any Democrats in Washington for us to expose.

John McCain may not have the eloquence of B. Hussein Obama, but his acceptance speech had substance, something grossly lacking when the Chosen One stood before the Greek columns just one week ago.   What John McCain lacks in oratorical skills he certainly made up for in ideology, achievement and vision.   He clearly has differentiated himself from the Obama campaign which is proving to be more of the same failed tax and spend liberalism. 

I was particularly impressed that McCain took on the failing government schools.   While Obama and his fellow liberals see the solution as giving the unions more power, McCain wants to end union power and put control where it belongs; with parents.   McCain spoke of blacks getting equal access to schools and insightfully pointed out that this really isn’t success if that access is to a failing school.   The unions have got to be scared to death of John McCain because his plan to give power to the people will result in the destruction of the largest union in America.   That, my friends, is a good thing. 

It was interesting to see how McCain stepped up to admit that Republicans have failed in Washington because they let Washington change them.   It takes a real man to admit when he was wrong, which Barack Appollo Obama refuses to do when discussing the highly successful troop surge which he voted against. While many conservatives, myself included, don’t agree with McCain on every issue it is growing ever more difficult to not admire him for his courage and independence. Again, this is a good thing that is going to really hurt liberals this fall.  

The picture was painted of a man who wants to go to Washington to fix a broken system who is running against the status quo.   John McCain is something of a renegade in today’s politics which is a stark contrast to The Messiah, a picture perfect empty suit created by the Democrat political machine that has run organized corruption and crime in Chicago for decades.   Obama is fed his talking points like a baby is fed from a bottle. He reads his masterfully scripted soaring rhetoric from a teleprompter as if he were auditioning for a Hollywood movie.   Despite this irrefutable fact, he has millions of sheep following him to the shining light at the end of the tunnel.   Sadly his followers are too ignorant to recognize that the light is a train that will decimate our economy and our nation.  

Obama is finally being asked the tough questions that the mainstream media has refused to ask for the last two years.   It is coming to light that Obama was a senator for 143 days when he announced his run for presidency. While he has written two memoirs he has never brought forth meaningful legislation.    America now knows that his thin resume consists of an elitist Ivy league education and activism as a race baiting community organizer.   In other words, he has done nothing worthwhile in his entire life but according to US magazine is happily married. That would be to a woman who has never been proud of her nation. 

So from one small town American who clings to my guns and religion to another it is time that we do the job the media refuses to do.   We all know people who are economically illiterate and politically uninformed.   We need to reach out to those people and explain what an Obama presidency will mean to the future of our nation.   We need to challenge them to explain why they support a candidate with less experience than Sarah Palin had while running the PTA.   We need to openly question Obama's associations with racist reverends, racist organizations, communist sympathizers and unrepentent terrorists.  If people are challenged to think, they will inevitably get the picture. 

John McCain is promising tax cuts, Obama tax increases.   McCain wants to win the war on Islamic fascism, Obama wants to surrender.   McCain wants to drill here and now as well as take an all of the above approach to energy independence; Obama wants to transfer our wealth to rogue nations who hate our guts.   McCain wants to open up new markets for goods and services; Obama wants more government regulation and less economic freedom.   McCain’s plans will expand our economy which will result in more government revenue, lower taxes and more jobs.   Obama will raise taxes out of a misguided sense of fairness and class envy which will reduce government revenue, contract the economy and result in jobs being sent overseas.  

Once Americans are presented with the facts, inconvenient as they may be for liberals, they will make the right choice.   Certainly there will be those amongst us who choose to remain economically illiterate and the reality is they would vote for Osama Bin Laden if he had a D after his name.   What they are getting instead is Obama Bin Biden.   You tell me, what’s the difference?

By most accounts, the speech by Sarah Palin was an overwhelming success.   Quite honestly, that is an understatement as this candidate hit the ball out of the park.   For having no experience, as the media claims, she stood in front of an audience of millions and wowed people from coast to coast. 

 

There was no soaring rhetoric, no Hollywood props and no stadium filled with kool aid drinking kooks.   Rather, there was one woman who got into politics for all of the right reasons taking on an establishment filled with politicians who got into politics for all of the wrong reasons. 

 

At times she was witty, at times charming and at times brilliant.   She mixed a tale of family with a tale of success that every sane person in America can relate to.   She is a mother who got into the PTA to fix the schools.  She got into elected leadership to fix a town and then a politically corrupt state.   The reality is her executive experience in the PTA is more extensive than anything B. Hussein Obama has ever done in his life.  The fact that she is now governor of the largest state in the union should take the experience issue off the table as Obama’s lack thereof pales in comparison. 

 

The reason that Americans are flocking to Sarah Palin is because she is one of us.  She is not an Ivy League educated elitist or member of the college debate team.  She is a gritty woman from Middle America with Middle American values.  Like those of us who share her values, she is proud of her nation; not for the first time in her adult life but each and every second of each and every day. 

 

Considering the values and common interests that Palin shares with the real Americans who live east of the Sierras and west of the Hudson, I guess it should come as no surprise that the media despises her just as they despise you and I.   There hypocrisy and double standard is becoming more and more evident as they assail Palin for her lack of experience yet have never raised that issue with regard to Obama.   They have questioned Palin’s involvement in the firing of a state trooper who just so happened to be tasering her nephew with state issued weapons but they have never asked Obama about his associations with racists reverends and unrepentant terrorists.  

 

The media has done everything in their power to assassinate the character of Sarah Palin and her entire family.   They have libelously assaulted her teenage daughter and continue to report a DUI that her husband had 22 years ago, which by the way was about the same time that Obama was abusing cocaine and marijuana.   What next, front page stories of the Palin’s dog getting a citation for violating a leash law? 

 

The attacks will continue to rise because the apple cart of the liberal establishment has been turned upside down.   Feminists, who years ago burned bras for the right to gain access to what Palin has achieved are beside themselves because she bucked their liberal agenda.   Rather than relying on government set asides and handouts, she earned her success with hard work and determination, two very evil concepts in the world of liberalism.  

 

Liberals have cause for concern because their messiah may no longer be a certainty.   They are now faced with a young, articulate and attractive woman who will shatter the glass ceiling that has kept feminists in their place.   The reason the glass will now shatter is because Palin is not a feminist with a radical agenda.   She is one of us who American men will defend because she reminds us of our wives, daughters, sisters and mothers.  She has the qualities that have always been lacking in the feminist movement.   She understands that respect is earned and is not some type of set aside program.  She realizes that Washington is broken and to the dismay of liberals she is going to fix it.   She recognizes that rugged individualism and self reliance, not higher taxes and more government, is what truly made America great.  

 

By all accounts Barack Obama gave a wonderfully moving speech on Thursday evening as most suspected he would do. He was poised and articulate as he read the carefully scripted rhetoric from his teleprompter, once again leaving America in the dark as to specifics for this so called “change we can count on”.

While Obama could certainly rank among the best "A" list actors in Hollywood, he clearly lacks any substantive qualifications to be President.  His background as a community activist and civil rights attorney may be appealing to some constituents, but does he have any real business savvy?  His lack of economic understanding is evident as he promotes an agenda of higher taxes and more unionization that will drive both investment and jobs overseas. Making matters worse is his incompetent approach to foreign policy with suggestions that Iran is not a threat and promising to meet radical Islamic leaders without precondition.

While many Americans claim to want change, they need to understand that they got change in 2006 when they put Democrats in charge of Congress. Since coming to power they have managed to pass the largest tax increase in history. Their policies have resulted in an increase in unemployment and inflation. Worse yet, the price of gas is up more than 50% and despite this they continue to their refusal to drill domestically, preferring to transfer our wealth to rogue middle eastern nations.

By any measure the last two years have been an economic failure that the biased and partisan mainstream media likes to blame on George Bush. Yet when Bush and the GOP were in charge, we saw tax cuts, low inflation, low unemployment and a record increase in home ownership and home equity.  After witnessing the damage inflicted upon our society since the Democrats came to power it would only be exacerbated with the election of Barack Obama who would be in a position to rubber stamp the very socialist agenda that is causing our economic woes.

He is promising healthcare for all which would be run by the very same government that bankrupted social security. His suggestions that we withdraw from Iraq before securing victory are tantamount to surrendering to Islamic fascism which will surely result in more attacks on our soil. Rather than defending the sovereignty of our nation, he proposes giving amnesty to illegal aliens. Making matters worse, he has promised to appoint the type of judges who will take away the rights of law abiding
citizens to defend our loved ones from the very criminals he is welcoming to our land. His associations with the racist reverend Jeremiah Wright and former terrorist William Ayers are beyond concerning, they are downright scary. His support for such things as the Fairness Doctrine, designed to silence conservative viewpoints and his general disdain for the premises of freedom and liberty upon which our nation was founded are even scarier.

If the mainstream media were being honest the majority of Americans would know about all of these issues and more. They would know that Obama has a pathetically thin resume and this first term Senator has virtually no legislative accomplishments. It is time that Americans move beyond the rhetoric of "hope" and "change" to gain an understanding of Obama’s true plans for our nation. For those voters who seek a candidate that will inevitable to destroy our nation with more failed government bureaucracy and socialist entitlement programs, then by all means vote for Obama. For the rest of us who care about our right to economic freedom and individual liberty it would seem that the Democrats have once again let us down.

 

Before the Chosen One even opens his mouth to read a carefully and masterfully scripted speech from His teleprompter tonight the words that He will utter are pathetically predictable. B. Hussein Obama will rise up from the ground against a backdrop that resembles the Parthenon in a stadium filled with thousands of adoring kool aid drinkers.   He will greet the world and thank his bitter and angry wife and then Bill and Hillary Clinton.  

The Messiah will then launch into a speech about change. He will talk about hope and everything that the government can provide to those too lazy to fend for themselves.   He will decry the war without coming out and saying that he prefers Islamic fascists to our men and women in uniform.   He will speak of opportunity for immigrants without ever mentioning his intention of granting amnesty to illegal aliens.   He will play the class warfare card without openly stating that he will double the income and capital gains taxes.

Yes, His speech will be moving unless he meets the misfortune of his teleprompter going on the fritz. He will pretend to make eye contact with the camera but the truth is that he will be carefully reading, word for word, the large type written letters on the screen before him.   Make no mistake; he doesn’t have a clue what he is reading only that he is reading.   As a concoction of the Democrat Party, the Chosen One will be presented to the American people in the hopes of duping them into thinking that Obama is a vehicle of change.

There will be no references to the twenty years he spent under the tutelage of the racist reverend Jeremiah Wright. There will be mention of his mentor and friend, the former domestic terrorist William Ayers.   There will no mention of the anti Semitic Louis Farrahkan or any of the other race warlords that have shaped the persona that has become B. Hussein Obama. 

Sadly a large portion of the American electorate is either too stupid or too uninformed to see through this charade that could result in the most un American candidate for elected office in the history of the Republic becoming the president of the very country he loathes. Yes, if you are a socialist it is not possible to love America. The same is true if you are a communist. Ditto if you are of any ideology that does not put our Constitution and our individual freedoms first which is something that today’s Democrats refuse to do. 

Certainly the Obama speech will get accolades from the mainstream media who will cheer the Obama oratory that is eerily reminiscent of Adolph Hitler.   Even scarier is the reaction of his pawns in the audience who faint at his utterance of the words hope and change much like the general public during the rise of the Third Reich. 

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that Obama is the second coming of Hitler as it’s highly improbable that he will seek to exterminate the Jews. However, he will seek to appease and coddle the very terrorists that seek to accomplish this.  He will also seek to exterminate our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. His agenda will seek to ban free speech, vis a vis the Fairness Doctrine. He will seek to use his judicial appointees to ban the right to defend your loved ones from the very criminals he seeks to coddle by banning the death penalty. He will seek to end the secret ballot for unionization resulting in record numbers of jobs being shipped overseas. His tax increases will drive investment from America and leave us on the brink of not only the recession brought to us by the Democrats elected in 2006, but an all out depression. Home prices will plummet and the cost of gas will double as he and his party continues in their refusal to drill here and now.   Yes, it may not seem like it as he speaks of hope and change tonight, but when you read between the lines this is what he is really saying.
